Chapter 258 A Thousand-Man Slayer! Aiding Yuan Detai?
Return to the human world.
The familiar atmosphere made Su Feng breathe a sigh of relief.
A trip to the underworld always makes me feel like my lifespan has been shortened.
"Young Master! You're finally back!"
As soon as my thoughts and consciousness returned, I heard a sound coming from behind me.
Looking back, Chen Yue and Chen Xing were rushing over.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
The two looked Su Feng up and down, making sure he wasn't being harassed by the ghost messengers.
"You don't need to worry, everything will be fine."
Su Feng was both amused and exasperated. He patted the two of them on the head and asked, "Did anything happen while I was away?"
Upon entering the underworld, one's concept of time becomes blurred, and one has no idea how much time has passed.
Chen Yue shook her head. "Nothing happened here after the young master left."
Rather, it was unusually quiet.
Su Feng nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
Normally speaking, this banana grove is the closest to Renjia Town. If a considerable number of ghosts escaped from the town, it should have some impact on this area.
Strangely, the surroundings remained as quiet as ever. Ever since the vengeful ghost that had invaded the jungle was dealt with by the ghost messengers, there was not a trace of yin energy present.
That is indeed somewhat unusual.
"Chen Yue and Chen Xing, I have something to tell you."
Su Feng then relayed some key points from the instructions given to him by the white-faced ghost messenger.
The task of catching the ghost was arduous, but of course, he didn't care whether he could complete it or not.
Catching ghosts is secondary; he only cares about promotion.
The key is to use this incident to improve both yourself and Chenyue Chenxing.
Most importantly, this is a significant improvement!
These days, ghosts are everywhere, and there's no reason to let a walking experience pet go unnoticed.
After hearing this, the two sisters suddenly realized what was going on.
But Chen Yue quickly sensed something was amiss. "Young Master, the way that ghost messenger said it, it felt like he had ulterior motives."
Su Feng smiled, "So what?"
He was a sensible man, and naturally understood the ulterior motives of these ghost messengers.
To put it bluntly, they didn't want to cause trouble, so they specifically found someone to take the blame.
And after all that picking and choosing, it naturally came down to oneself.
The underworld messenger's token in my hand now is the best proof.
If this matter is not resolved properly, these ghost messengers will turn their backs on us and take all the blame upon themselves, while we will shirk our responsibility.
However, risks and benefits are linked.
Su Feng was aware of this, which is why he nodded in agreement.
This not only means that he can openly deal with ghosts without damaging his karma, but also that he can gain a promotion.
It can also exploit the weaknesses of the ghost messengers.
This dereliction of duty, which led to the escape of all the ghosts, could easily become a handle to be used in the future.
Of course, having these leverages doesn't necessarily mean you have to use them to do something despicable for profit... but having them is better than not having them.
sizzle-
Just then, the underworld messenger's token in his hand trembled slightly, and the voice of the white-faced ghost messenger came through.
Clearly, holding this underworld messenger's token also grants the ability to communicate with the netherworld.
"Young Master Su... there's something I forgot to tell you."
Chen Yue and Chen Xing, who were standing nearby, were quite frightened by the strange sound.
"...In Renjia Town, there lives a family whose head of household is named Yuan Detai. We hope that Young Master Su can go and assist him first to prevent him from being harmed by ghosts."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shaking of the underworld messenger stopped, and everything quieted down.
"Oh..."
Su Feng blinked in disbelief.
He never expected that Yuan Detai actually lived in Renjia Town!
This is terrible...
"Master..."
Chen Xing, standing to the side, spoke up timidly, "Who is this Yuan Detai? Why would the ghost messengers specifically name him and ask the young master to protect him?"
The most important thing right now isn't dealing with the ghosts, so why have you become a bodyguard?
Su Feng smiled knowingly, "You don't know this, but this Yuan Detai is a key figure."
This man was an executioner, wielding a precious sword that was used to behead the most vicious and wicked.
Rumor has it that Yuan Detai had already beheaded a thousand villains before retiring and opening a small restaurant.
Unexpectedly, he spent his later years peacefully in Renjia Town.
If the white-faced ghost messenger hadn't told him, Su Feng really wouldn't have known this!
It's worth noting that in the original movie plot of "The Killer of a Thousand People," Yuan Detai sacrificed himself, using his blood to consecrate the sword, which finally defeated the Eight Immortals of Ghosts. In the end, he became a door god, guarding peace in the region.
That evil-slaying sword can be described as a top-grade magic weapon!
The eight ghost immortals they had to deal with were all extraordinary, and the spiritual energy obtained after defeating them was even more refined.
What a tremendous boost this is!
"Young Master, why are you laughing?"
When Chen Yue and Chen Xing saw Su Feng smiling, they wondered if they had said something wrong.
Su Feng suppressed his smile and said, "You guys pack your things, we'll set off now."
If the white-faced ghost messenger is not mistaken, then Yuan Detai's family is likely to face some trouble tonight.

Chapter 259 A Nightmare of Terror! Possessed by a Vengeful Spirit!
squeak-
A cold wind blew, and the lanterns hanging from the beams creaked and groaned.
Not a single star could be seen overhead, and the moon was obscured by thick, dark clouds.
The entire courtyard was deathly still, filled with an ominous atmosphere.
"Well……"
Yuan Detai was startled awake from his sleep, suddenly feeling a chill all over his body.
Despite it being summer, the indoor temperature was unusually cool.
He got up, lit the candles in the room, and opened the wooden window to look out into the courtyard.
Everything was as calm as ever, and not a sound could be heard.
But this quietness seemed somewhat unusual.
I can't hear the neighbor's dog barking, nor can I hear the night watchman's gong.
"strangeness……"
Yuan Detai frowned slightly, put on his coat, and pushed open the door to go outside.
Since retiring from his job, he has been running a small restaurant in Renjia Town, living a frugal life.
The past events were also sealed away.
As an executioner, the sins committed are too heavy, and there will basically be no good outcome. After all, if too many people are killed, one will inevitably suffer retribution.
Although those killed were evil people, evil people are still human beings, and the two should not be confused.
woohoo-
A cold wind blew outside the courtyard, causing Yuan Detai to shiver involuntarily.
He felt something was wrong.
The aura was thick and powerful, carrying an ominous air.
"Father, why did you come out?"
The daughter, Qiaoyin, came out from the back room, perhaps having heard the noise outside the yard and come out to investigate.
"Get in the house quickly!"
Yuan Detai quickly spoke and strode into the house.
So quiet!
It's so quiet outside!
